The "Super Heroes" were on display at Douglas Elementary Friday night, and  several of them stood outside the door of sixth-grade teacher Gerri Fletcher.
With exclamations of "cool" and "awesome," the "big boys" (and girls) of Douglas eagerly poured over the hall display, pointing to their Super Hero names, pictures, and profiles as assigned by Fletcher.
"The kids just love this stuff," Fletcher said, offering explanations on how she came up with each child's Super Hero name. "They all want to laminate them and hang them in their cubbies."
